After serving as a prosecutor for 16 years, I now serve as Principal Law Clerk to The Honorable Brett Broge. My current position allows me the opportunity to serve as Goshen Town Justice and, in the upcoming November election, I am running for that position. I firmly believe that, particularly in the current political environment, judges who focus on preserving the integrity of our legal system and due process are more important than ever. I plan to be exactly such a judge. Quite simply, I believe in judges engaging with the community to show and tell them what the courts are doing to ensure that everyone who comes to court will receive the due process they are entitled to; that cases will have as prompt a resolution as possible; and that it will be the most just resolution the system allows based on the facts of the case. My criminal law experience as a prosecutor and having spent much of my career with the District Attorney's office handling criminal appeals - which necessarily focused on procedural issues – renders me, by far, the best qualified candidate for the position. On a more personal note, I am deeply proud of the time I have spent as an Assistant Scoutmaster with Goshen's Boy Scout Troop 63. I want to incorporate some of my experience working with local youth into coming up with ways to collaborate with the school district to help familiarize students with how things work in the court system. My wife, son, daughter, and I are deeply grateful for everything we have gained from being a part of our Goshen community, and we are always looking for ways that we can give back through service.
